So that's in the books.....

I had a good time. I did.

It ended up being warm enough that we did take the boat out. He's got a couple so, at my request, we took the "go fast" boat out. I figure cruisers are really only good for those holiday weekends and those times you just want to spend time on the water, with no other plans in place.

Plus....I love the go fast boats. And this one goes fast. It's a 37' Martinique by Wellcraft. This isn't THAT boat, but looks just like it.

Yeah....it's a go fast boat.

It's been forever since I've been on the water and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't forget how to be a good crew. We got everything on the boat and ready to go, and in no time at all we were pulling away from the dock.

I'm going to say we had only been out of the channel a few minutes, had just hit a good speed and I......stretched out on the back seat and promptly fell asleep.

Yes, I fell asleep.

I'm thinking most people don't do that sort of thing on a date....I might be wrong, but I'm just sayin'........

Anyway, lunch was great. My favorite dive bar on the water on the south side of Sarasota. Blackened group and cold beer. Yummmm. From there it was a nice ride north up to another favorite dive. Oh, we stopped along the way at an island we used to camp on, and took the Gulf part of the way so I could see how much some of the beaches have changed. Then, we docked and it was time for more cold beer.

The boating part? Great. The rest? Interesting.

You see, M is a talker. Not like I'm a talker, he talks about feelings and stuff. He asks those questions that, well, damn, sometimes they should just be left alone.

As I was afraid would happen, once the "get caught up" on each others life stuff was over and we're sitting on the beach, drinkin' a few beers, I get the "so what happened to us" thing.

Damnit.....

So I reminded him the first time we broke up was because we just weren't supposed to be together. His goals and mine were WAY different.

The second time we broke up? Yeah, that was because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants, and frankly, I don't share.

I've now SEEN the definition of "awkward silence".

Well, he asked......

Other than that - oh and the damned Techno music he still listens to - it was a pretty great day. Around dinner time we headed back in so we could get dinner. J had said she was goin' to make pork chops with her mango salsa, but we were all whipped, M because he's been workin' a lot of shifts, J because she had just worked a double and me because I forgot what a day in the sun and wind would do to a person.

So we had pizza. And beer. And it was better than some steak dinners I've had.

All in all....I had a good time. And like I reminded M, there's usually a pretty darned good reason why breakups happen. Those things he disliked about me before? Yeah......they're still there, and I've actually developed new ones.

Between you and me? Yeah, I could never trust him again.

But it was a very nice day.....
